That's just when they drop "Sure, but what if my children are exposed to lemonade?"

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

Disgustingly this is a feature, not a bug. No form of content moderation will ever, ever be effective, so platforms simply design them to be completely overkill so that creators pre-emptively censor themselves to avoid the risk

I am unclear (perfectly clear) why it's cool to illustrate fictional murder but not fictional SA

It is optimized — for consoles. Sadly 30fps at 1080p (with DLSS) is now "working as intended"

Very sad to hear anyone missed the point so broadly. Did they not wonder why a film about children going missing is titled "Weapons"?

Thanks so much for this, wasn't aware of this series and it's fascinating

This is why I insist that to be a true remake, FF7 Rebirth should have had The Thing happen to Tifa instead. Being blindsided was part of the experience

I'm torn on Hard Games™ because I believe in accessibility but also many people just lack faith in their ability and would find a rewarding experience if they were encouraged (constructively) to persevere. I forgot Bloodborne at a friend's house and his mom played through it with a guide on her lap

I'm sorry Mask Taster has ended my life

Yeah for sure, there's nothing inherently bad about the platform, it's just so popular and accessible that it gives normal people a look into hardcore communities that previously would have been hidden away in forums

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Pretty much. I think Reddit has just gained a reputation for being full of socially inept nerds who only want to argue and antagonize, especially in communities based around popular media. Of course there are lots of cool people too, but as always they get drowned out

110

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

I think it's just that people who join online communities for their interests have built part of their identity around that interest. They can't just quietly enjoy it, they need to be seen enjoying it (more than you). These people are filtered out in follower-based ecosystems, no such luck on Reddit

Is that title art by the excellent Jakub Rebelka?

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Exactly. Separation of product and value is the root of most evil in the world, and all enshittification. Valve is one of the few major companies that doesn't have people at the top saying "make number go up" with no idea what they've actually invested in

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

I bet that's because when we anthropomorphize things we're volunteering empathy for them. Things designed to appear human are more like invasive parasites exploiting our empathy to manipulate us. It should trigger a defensive instinct in anyone who values their survival

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Imagine finding a way to use computers to avoid paying people for work and then having to pay the computers instead

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

Probably simpler and more depressing than that: screen time given to male characters is time they could be spending on significantly more marketable/exploitable female characters. When your target demographic is isolated men you want as many chances as possible to feed them their new waifu

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

This is just back door "good old days"-ism designed to pull young people to the right. "Look at what they took from you". Easy for white people to be nostalgic when life was worse for basically everyone else

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

I guess it's intended to add some of the tension of permadeath while solving the problem that losing your progress to something brand new always feels shitty. On paper it's pretty good design giving you one chance to learn and strategize before tackling a new problem for real.

These are fine gestural sketches, but for general figure study you probably want to get into the habit of using shapes and tubes rather than just lines. Dave Finch has lots of great tutorials on YT, and the preview of his Gnomon vid outlines it really well www.thegnomonworkshop.com/tutorials/dy...

Concepts like kindness, fairness and dignity are now woke, apparently

"It's not that I'm bad at managing my life and prioritizing my interests, it's everyone else's fault for making games too long". If these people are happy then good for them, but I just pity them. If you can't make time in your life for art, what's the point of living? To generate profit?

Horrific, damaging to children who will be forced into unmoderated channels to access the content they want, deliberately harmful to LGBT communities, utterly lethal to human creativity and the sharing of meaningful and impactful experiences. Only homogenized, marketable products are permitted

000

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

All the OSA does for children is force them into fully unmoderated channels like the dark web, Telegram and Discord servers to access the content they want, instead of moderated platforms. It leaves them more exposed to predators than any time in history

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

People should be most concerned about "no bodily waste". The rest depict exploitation, that one is just "we think it's icky". I wonder what else they'll decide is repulsive enough to ban?

4371

Nate Dee @natedee.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

These mostly make sense but "no bodily waste" is a canary in the coalmine. It doesn't depict exploitation like the others do, and it's a slippery slope to ban content just because "it's icky". Will they ban feet-related content next? Who decides what's repulsive enough to ban?

I recommend DuckDuckGo. You can turn off AI and customize it heavily, so it works just like 2010s Google. I find it also provides much more direct and relevant results that Google likes to suppress

I dunno, Lost Odyssey had some great ideas marred by really turbulent development, I think it's a rare example that could benefit from a remake

Thank you for making this, it's very inspiring

This is true and important, but also there's an unmatched satisfaction and sense of growth in correcting something you didn't realize was wrong and instantly bringing your picture to a level you never thought you were capable of. Worth the nitpicking IMO, but balance is needed for sure
